Marinos Markides, Systems Manager

COMPANY NAME

OCL Oceanic Catering Ltd (www.oceaniccatering.com)

COMPANY INTRO

Oceanic Catering is a leading supplier of marine hospitality and catering services. Oceanic has physical presence in 12 countries, and currently services more than 1300 vessels. With our extensive network of partners and suppliers, we provide our services in most of the major ports of the world, sourcing the goods to prepare more than 36 million meals per year.

ABSTRACT

The Stock (goods/raw material) on the vessels has been paid from, and belong to OCL. There is millions’ worth of raw materials, stored in more than 1300 vessels, in almost all the seas of the world. The cooks that are responsible to provide a monthly Stock (inventory) report do not work for us, thus we have no control. To add to the complexity, the suppliers provide goods in all shapes and sizes (different units of measure, different packaging). The performance of the company relies on monthly reporting cycles.

What can we do and how, in an effort to control the quality, accuracy and timely delivery of the reporting from the vessels?

Technology and Online Presence and their effects on businesses in a rapidly changing social, economic and technological environment

SPEAKER

Panayiotis Kyprianou, Director of Business Development

COMPANY NAME

Thanos Hotels (www.thanoshotels.com)

ABSTRACT

Thanos Hotels has always been one for adapting to the ever-changing business environment within all our departments and hotels.

As social media and online presence becomes more mainstream of communications, advertising and sales for businesses, it is a top priority to keep innovative and in connection with clients, suppliers and other third parties. Our aim, at Thanos Hotels, is to endeavour to still pose a high standard of professionalism online to guests and suppliers yet keeping an up to date connection with both through all forms on online interaction.

This however sometimes does not extend to our counterparts, suppliers and other third-party companies. Businesses are opting to have only Facebook/Instagram pages which in turn loses some form of professional expertise as well as a reliable source for information and services on the company. On a whole there is still a level of backwards working within Cyprus’ business industry. With the use of fax and paper-based systems that are now outdated and proven to be costly, time consuming and, in the use of so much paper, detrimental to our environment.

Another major aspect of this online presence is the interconnectivity between businesses and software. Thanos Hotels, on a daily basis, deals with transactions from individual sales level to multi contractual levels. These transactions for worldwide companies such as Visa integrate well with our management and payment systems making this an easy and smooth procedure for both parties. Cyprus based companies however are still to adapt to these new systems and payment processes between suppliers and other companies for our hotels can be a stressful and overcomplicated method.

Thanos Hotels’ presentation will focus on new technology and online presence and the implications these new ventures have on Cyprus’ growing businesses and industry like Thanos Hotels.
